Return to Y2k : effects on non Y2k related stocks

This thread discusses the effect of Y2k on the stock value of companies that do not (seem to) have a direct relation with Y2k remediation.

What happens with the stock value of companies in sectors such as:

- Energy
- Consumer goods
- Transportation
- Warehousing
- Alternative energy (Solar, Wind mills)
- Specialty foods ('survival foods')

etc etc

I would also like to discuss possible strategies; e.g. going long or short on certain companies (in the face of significant Y2k effects on a particular company); option strategies etc.

I want to concentrate on the coming 4 - 8 months. After that period I expect a stock market crash (due to Y2k; perhaps also due to SEA).

Please keep the discussion polite!
